Yea some organizations will let go of coaches who get them close but haven't quite gotten them to the promised land.
Bengals are more likely to keep a guy around as long as the guy is having winning seasons, or at least that's how it has been in the past with Mike Brown.
FWIW, I was not opposed to having Taylor stick around this year after last year's disappointment.
I don't expect a HC to know everything about both offense and defense. You do have to put some trust and responsibility into your coordinators, especially ones on the opposite side of the ball you used to coach on.
I think it does make sense to first try a changing of the guard at the lower level first to see if that really was the core of the problem.
But if the team goes another year or two not making the playoffs, it might be an indicator Taylor really may not be that guy and the team can't capture the magic with him as HC without bringing in a bunch of veteran defensive players.
